Following our recent launch successes, our SUV offensive with PEUGEOT 2008, 3008 and 5008 and following the lead of New PEUGEOT RIFTER, we had to have the same ambition for our LCV vehicle design - i.e. disrupt the market with innovative and unprecedented equipment ! This is why the iconic PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, so loved by our clients, is fitted as standard on New PEUGEOT PARTNER. This high-end, rewarding vehicle provides the user with a veritable mix of practicality and pleasure." Jean-Philippe IMPARATO, PEUGEOT BRAND CEO PEUGEOT i-COCKPIT®: A FIRST FOR AN LCV PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, of which over 4,000 000 units have been sold, is now being fitted on a commercial vehicle for the first time. So much more than a new feature, PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® is becoming a must for professional users who are constantly seeking ways to improve the quality of the service they provide. An optimum ergonomic layout, tip-top comfort and exemplary safety systems make for an intuitive driving experience: . Compact, double D-style steering wheel for improved grip and manoeuvrability - handling is swifter and less tiring and ten times more pleasurable! . A head-up display available as standard to enable essential information to be received by the driver whilst he is still able to maintain his eye on the road, which is a guarantee of safety and comfort. An 8" capacitive touch screen located in the centre of the dashboard in line with the driver's vision providing direct and permanent access to key comfort functions - radio navigation, vehicle settings, telephone, etc. SURROUND VIEW REAR VISION - FULL CONTROL OVER THE ENVIRONMENT No longer do you need to choose between protecting vehicle contents and visibility! This new system is a precious driving aid; it provides a view of the areas around the vehicle. The driver therefore enjoys optimum exterior visibility from inside the vehicle, thus facilitating driving and vehicle manoeuvring. New PEUGEOT PARTNER is fitted with 2 cameras, one located at the base of the passenger side mirror and the other at the top of the rear panel doors. They provide: . A lateral view on the passenger side, thus excluding any blind spots . A rear view to facilitate manoeuvring in warehouses, congested sites or in urban environments. The images are displayed on a 5’’ screen located where the interior rear mirror normally sits and provides a close view of the immediate environment for improved reactivity and optimum safety. OVERLOAD ALERT - TOTAL FREEDOM TO ORGANISE YOUR SPACE New PEUGEOT PARTNER has generous load capacity and payload; it is also fitted with an overload alert system - a really new on-board technology to guarantee total safety in all circumstances. The process is simple and effective - the mass is automatically measured when the ignition is switched on; it can also be measured from the load area when the vehicle is stationary by means of a specific control located in the load area. Once 90% of the total load capacity has been reached, a white LED lights up on the control button; if the maximum authorised load is exceeded a yellow LED lights up, supplemented by a visual warning on the dashboard. This practical and effective system is a guarantee of vehicle safety. By avoiding vehicle overload, all risk of downgraded road handling and associated dangers is avoided, such as tyre burst, loss of control of the vehicle, premature wear, higher fuel consumption and the risk of being fined. Unprecedented and unique in all segments of the LCV market, this equipment is available as an option. CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES - GET CONNECTED!
